INTROrUCTION 


The  "Handbook  of  Sociail  Resources  of  California"  has  been  conipiled  to 
meet  an  urgent  need  and  as  the  best  nieans  of  answering  the  many  inquiries  which 
coiDe  to  the  Pacific  Pivision  regarding  the  health,   nursin,?,    social.edacational , 
recreational,    and  civic  and  comnranity  betterment   resources  of   the  Stato.      It 
has  been  prepared  for  the  use  of  Red  Cross  Chapter  workers  and  others  v/ho  need 
this  kind  of   information. 

The  "Handbook  of  Information  and   Instructions  for  Home  Service  Sections" 
(A.R-C.   207)    served  as  the  chief  channel  through  which  Chapters  were  informed 
regarding  war-time  legislation  and  activities  for   service  men  and  those  depend- 
ent on  them  and  was  a  means  of  aiding  the  workers  to  give  correct  advice  and 
information.      This  Handbook  is  kept  up-to-date  by  Post  War  Services,   Ameri- 

can Red  Cross, National  Headquarters. 

The  Social  Resources  Information  Service  at  the  Ajnerican  Red  Cross 
National  Headquarters  office  has  issued  the  peace-time  "Handbook  of  Social  Re- 
sources of  the  U.S."  for  distribution  to   the  Chapters,   and  for   sale  outside  at 
the  nominal  cost  of  .^1  a  copy,    postpaid.      As  its  name  implies,    this  book  inclxides 
material   in  regard  to  educational,   health,  and   socisil  service  organizations  and 
agencies  \'Aiich  are  national  in  scope.     Copies  may  be  consulted  at  the  IccaJ   Red 
Cross  Chapter  offices  or   secured  direct  from  National  Headquarters,   checks  being 
made  payable  to   "American  National  Red  Cross". 

The  Chapters  for   some  time  past,  however,  have  found   it  necessary   in 
order  to   serve   their  coii:.n:.n:.ties   'co  -^he  fullest   extent,   to    secure  facts  about 
the  various  State  peace-time  resources;   but   there  has  been  no  place  in  the 
State  where  all    such  daba  have  been  procurable.      For  these  reasons  the  Pacific 
Pivision  Information  Service  has  piepcired  the   "HaJidbook  of  Social  Resources 
of  California".      No  attempt  has  been  made  to  include  organizations  or  institu- 
tions which  are  purely  locail  in  scope  inasmuch  as  readers  will  already  be  ac- 
quainted with   such  resources. 

In  this  Handbook  have  been  included   several  State  departments,   boards, 
and  commissions  and  the  State  and  private  social   institutions  and  private  or- 
ganizations which    serve  the  entire  State  or  more  than  one  county;    also  the 
State  or  regional  work  of  those  national  organizations  which  have  a  peculiar 
State  program,    a  State  or  regional  office,   or  important  branches  in  the  State. 

Agencies  for  the  benefit  of  service  or  ex-service  men  and  women  and 
their  families  have  been  included  if   these  agencies  have  a  peace-time  program 
and  therefore  function  for  the  general  imblic.      In  view  of  the  fact   that   the 
war-sei'vice  Handbook  is  still   available,   the   State  Handbook  does  not  describe 
aigencies  whose   sole  purpose  is  to  render  aid  to    service  and  ex-service  men  and 
women  and  their  dependents.      It   is,    likewise,    not  attempted   to   include  the  great 
number  of  fraternal,   mutual  benefit,  pension  fund  and  related  associations  which 
do  not  render  service  outside  their  membership.      Members  are  familiar  with  their 
activities  and  do  not  need  to  be  informed  about   them.     Some  agencies  also  are 
omitted  from  the  Handbook  because  the   service  they  render  is  of  a  technical 
character  and  offered  to  technical   experts  in  their  fields  who  will   already  be 
familiar  with  it.

The  Handbook  is  a  guide   to  and  not  an  endorsenient  of  the  agencies 
represented  and  docs  not  attcsnpt   to  indicate   their  xalTie  or  standing.      Cnission 
does  not  inply  disapproval.      The   State  Board   of  Charities  and  Corrections 
(q.v.  )    lists  agencies  inspected  and  approved,   and  vTill  answer   liifiuirias   regard- 
ing institutions  and  or£,an-;. zations   in    -he  Stat3.      Sho-'ili  a  Cliapter  or  an  in- 
dividual  desire  inf oi-macion  concemint,'   the   standing  of  a  national   or  inter- 
State  agency  engaged  in  social,   civic,   cr  philanthropic  activity  and  soliciting 
funds   from   the  public,    inquiry  should  be  ic:-.de  of  the  Nc\ticnal   Inforraa-/ion  Bureau, 
1  Madison  Ave.  ,   New  York,   N.    Y. 

The  space   given  to  the  description  of  an  agency  does  not  necessarily 
bear  any  relation   to   the  importance  of  its  work.      The  complexity  of  orgsxiiza- 
tion  or  the  amount  of  data  which  was  submitted  or  which  was   otherwise  available 
is  usually  responsible   for   the  length  of   the  description. 

Criticisms  and  suggestions   together  with  important  additional  infoima- 
tlon  will  be  gladly  received  by   the  Pacific  Division. 

The  statements  published  in   the  Handbook  have  been  compiled  with  the 
cooperation  of   the  agencies   concerned  and  officially  approved  by  them.      It 
must  be  borne  in  mind,   of  course,    that  new  resources   are  constantly  coEcing 
into  being  and  existing  ones  are   changing  their  methods  or   the  character  of 
their  work. 

We  wish  to  acknowledge  our  indebtedness   to  the  institutions,   organiza- 
tions,  and  departments  which  have  assisted  in   the  preparation  of  the  bock. 

The  work  of  compiling  material   for  this   Handbook  fell    to  Miss  Eliza- 
beth Mclv'echen  of   the  Pacific  Division.      The  material  has  been  edited  and  index- 
ing has  been  done  by  Miss  Genevieve  P.    Hendricks   at  National   Headquarters,  who 
also  superintended  the  publication  of   the  Ifendbook.

The  headq-uarters  address  has  been  given  for  agencies  maintaining  a  State 
or  national  office  in  California.      Because  of   the  shortness  of  time  in  which  such 
information  bocomes   out  of  date,    the  names  of  officers  and  their  individiial 
addresses  have  been  included  only  in  statements  concerning  those  agencies  which 
do  not  maintain  a  central  office  and  which  could  not  be  located  otherwise. 

Endeavor  has  beon  made   to  give  for  each  agency  the  p^jarpose;  program  or 
work;    requirements  for  service,   admission,   or  membership;   amount  of  dues,  if  any; 
method  of  s^g^port.      For  institutions,    the  Handbook  Includes,  wherever  possible, 
a  description  of  buildings  and  location  together  with  the  kind  of  training  pro- 
vided for  inmates  and   the  legal  and  institutional   regulations   governing  admission, 
discharge,   and  in  soma   cases  parole.      For  organization,   it  attempts   to  give  in- 
formation regarding  specific  activities   such  as   the  holding  of  fairs,    exhibits, 
public  meetings,   and   lectures,    the  prbviding  of  speakers,  and  requirements  govern- 
ing us  a  of  these. 

Distinct  departraents  and  divisions  which  aure  conducting  work  of  social 
service  or     health  interest  will  usually  be  found  described  in  paragraphs  follow- 
ing the  statement  covering  the  general  work  of    the  agency.      Addresses  are  given 
only  for  those  units  which  are  not  located  at  the  headquarters  offices.

places  of  safety.      If  the  i-esouroes  of   tho  C'.iapter  ars   s^officient,   it  does   this 
work  alone,  and  may  also   extend  its  activities    to  family  rehabilitation.      The 
counsel  and  advice  of    the  Division  Office  and  National  Hendquarters  are  always 
available  in  such  cases.      If  ''he  emergency  is    too  great  for  the  resources  of  the 
Chapter,   it  will  cooperate  with  public  officials  and  civic  agencies  in   the 
selection  of  a  central  disaster  relief  conmittee  which  begins   emergency  measures, 
and    the  Chapter  will  call  upon  the  Division  Office  for  aid.      The  Division  Office 
then  assumes   the  responsibility  for   the  Red  Cross,    sends  representatives   to   the 
scene  of  disaster,   and,    if  conditions  require  it,    requests  National  Headqioarters 
to  issue  a  nation-wide  appeal  for  funds   through  all  its  Divisions  and  Chapters, 
thereby  furnishing  a  prompt  and  efficient  L.achinery  for  the  collection  of 
relief  funds  to  be  applied  to   the  stricken  c^LJr'.uii ty  through   the  Division  Office 
concerned  and   the  central  disaster   relief  ccriiuittee  organized  at  the  scene  of 
disaster.      The  accouiUing  of   these  funds  is  done  by  Division  accountants  and  the 
final  auditing  by  the  U.    S.    'Tar  Depart.aent.      The  Red  Cress  is  always  available 
through  its  Division  Managers   to  advp.se  and  assist  in  aj-^v  disaster  relief  activ- 
ity and  when  the  circumstances  make  it  ^p'lsar  necessary,   or  when  incited  to  do 
so,   assumes  charge  of   the  relief  crgcJ'.iia^.icn.      Local  Chapters  are  expected  to 
report   to   the  Red  Cross  Division  heaaq-:iarter3  upon   the  cccvrv^nce  of  a  disaster, 
indicating  whether  the  comiiunity  will  be  ahla   to  meet  witn  the  req-oi  r^rents   of 
the  situation  or  whether  the  national  organization  should  send  aid  from  the  cut- 
side.      This  Service  has  prepared  a  ''Disaster  Relief  Guide  Book"   for   the  use  of 
disaster  relief  executives,  and  the  "Manual  of  Disaster  Rolief"    (APC  209),  avail- 
able  to  Red  Cross  Chapters  and  to  other  agencies  interested  in  disaster  relief 
work,  upon  request. 

First  Aid.      This  service  organizes  classes  and  gives  instruction  in 
administering  first  aid  treatment   to  the  injured    to  meet  emergencies  until  a 

15  ice

physician  can  be   secured.      It  also   seeks    to  develop  a  volunteer  life-saving  corps 
of   trained  individuals  capable  of  rendering  water  first  aid. 

Health  Service.      The  Red  Cross  is    interested   in  all  phases  of  public 
health,   anJ,  may  promote   in  any  coiiiniunity  various  health  projects,    in  cooperation 
with  other  local  health  agencies.      This  work  is  being  done  in  part  through  the 
promotion  of  the  Health  Center  v/hich  serves  as  a  clearing  house  for 

statistical  information  and  health  literature,   establishes  clinics,  develops 
exhibits,  plays,    clubs,   demonstrations,   and  other  activities   for  the  purpose   of 
furthering  individual   and  comn:\ini  ty  health. 

Home  Service.      Red  Cross   Chapters   continue   to  carry  on   the  work  begun 
during  the  War  for  service  and  ex-service  men  and   their  families,    the  only 
difference  being   that  especial   emphasis  is  now  laid  on   the  work  for  the  disabled 
ex-service  men  and   their  families.      This  work   includes   giving  material    relief 
when  necessary,    extending  aid  in  making  claims   for  Government  allowance,   sv^jply- 
ing   information,   and   so  on-      In  addition,   Home   Service  workers  have  been  receiv- 
ing calls   from  the   civilian  population   for  extension  of   such  work   to   the  handi- 
capped of   the  community  at  large.      Some  Chapters  with  the  approval   of   the  Divi- 
sion Office  have  undertaken   this   general    social    service  work  for  the  conmunity 
as  a  whole.      It   is   the  policy  of   the  Red  Cross    to  develop   this  work  in  a  field 
where   there  is  not  already  operating  an  agency  equipped  to  do   the  work. 

Information  Service.      Some  Chapters  collect  for   their   own  inforrration 
data  as   to   the  social  and  health  resources  of   their  comm\inity.      Certain  informa- 
tion on  State-wide  and   some  regional   resources   is   gathered  for  Red  Cross  workers 
by  the  Division  Office.      Material   on  nation-wide   social  and  health  agencies  is 
gathered  by  National  Headquarters  and  made  available   through  the   "Handbook  of 
Social   Resources  of  the  U.    S. " ,    issued  by  the  American  Red  Cross,   National  Head- 
quarters.     This  Handbook  may  be  procured  by  the  outside  public  from  National 
Headquarters  at  $1  a  copy,  postpaid.      The  "Itindbook  of  Information  and  Instruc- 
tions for  Home  Service  Workers",   also  issued  by  National  Headquarters,   revised 
September,   1921,    gives  information   to  assist  Red  Cross  workers  in  their  activi- 
ties for  ex-service  men  and  their  families. 

Instruction  in  Home  Hygiene  and  Care   of   the  Sick  promotes  courses   to 
prepare  women  and  girls   to  care  for  the   sick  in   their  own  homes.      These  courses 
are   given  by  an  enrolled  American  Red  Cross  nurse  who  has  been  appointed  an  in- 
structor.     They  are  not  intended   to   equip   those  under  instruction  to  assume   the 
responsibility  of  a  graduate  nurse,  but  rather   to    teach  them  to  use  preventive 
measures  and  to  give  intelligent  care   to   the  sick  when  a  trained  nurse  is  not 
necessary  or  available,  and  to  promote  hvgienic  conditions  in  the  home.      There  is 
one  Standard  Red  Cross  Course,  with  a  modification  called  the  Modified  Course, 
and  an  adaptation  called   the  Adapted  Course,   a  certificate  being  issued  on  the 
successful  completion  of  any  one.      For  details   regarding  these  courses  address 
the  Pacific  Division. 

J\mior  Red  Cross,   organized  in  public,  private,  and  parochial   schools, 
affords  a  means  by  which  school  children  icay  share  in  the  program  of  the  Red  Cross 
and   receive  training  in  habits  and  ideals  of  service.      Ifrider  the  supervision  of 
the  Chapter  School  Committee,  which  is  constituted  of  local  school  authorities  and 
others  interested  in  education  and  child  welfare,    the  Junior  Red  Cross  is   the 
chapter's  organization  to  secure   the  participation  of  the  school  children  in  its 

15126 


--   5   -- 

varied  activities.      The  J\inior  program  sv^plements    the   citizenship    training 
afforded  by    the   schools,   and  hence   includes   some  activities   in  which  the  Chapter 
is  not  other»vise  actively  en^ged.      Junior  activities  embody   two  aims:    the  actual 
service  performed,   and  the  educational   values  of   the  activities,   especially  from 
a  social  and  civic  point  of  view.      These  aims  are  accomplished  throu/»h  the  making 
of   garments,   simple  school   or  playground  eq\iipment,    toys,   and   scrapbooks;    the 
"Saving  and  Giving"  program  which  teaches  thrift;   participation  in  a  wide  variety 
of  community  service  projects   such  as   entertainments,  accident  prevention,   fire 
prevention,  and  community  beaulif ication  campaigns.      The  Junior  Red  Cross  News, 
a  monthly  magazine,   is   the  national   organ  of  the  Juniors  and  makes  available 
material  which  vitalizes  schoolroom  work  and  cultivates  Bed  Cross  ideals.     Junior 
Service  gives  the  children  a  world  perspective  by  making  their  work  in  foreign 
lands  as  definite  a   task  as   their  efforts  to  serve  children  at  home.      Educational 
and  welfare  projects  are  being  carried  on  in  a  dozen  European  countries.     Out  of 
these  contacts  with  overseas  children  has  grown  a  well-organized  plan  of  inter- 
national correspondence  designed   to  acquaint  the  children  with  each  other  and 
with  their  respective  countries. 

Military  Relief  serves  both  the  Army  and  Navy  through  activities  at 
camps,   hospitals,  posts,  and  stations.      It  furnishes  entertainments  and  recrea- 
tion for  convalescent  patients   through  the  Red  Cross  convalescent  houses  at  Anry 
and  Navy  hospitals;    it  distributes  s^plies  for  the  comfort  and  welfare  of   the 
patient;   gives  all   such  individ-ual   service  as   the  comaanding  officer   thinks 
advisable.      It  also  furnishes  supplamental   emergency  s-jpplies  when  required  ajid 
necessary  in  any  emergency  and  vvhen  lack  of   time  or  facilities  of   the  War  and 
Navy  Departments make  such  a  request  necessary. 

NijLrsing  Service  through  local  coninittees  on  Bed  Cross  Nursing  Service 
enrolls  grad-uate  nurses  meeting  Red  Cross  requirements.      (See  ARC   710)     Papers 
are  sent   through   the  Division  Office   to  National  Headquarters.      Primary  puipose 
is   to  serve  as  a  reserve  of   the  Army  and  Navj'  Nurse  Corps.      Supplies  nurses  for 
all   Red  Cross  nursing  activities  at  home  and  overseas,   for  the  U.    S.   Public 
Health  Service,    to   the  Red  Cross  Public  Health  Nursing  Service,   for  Instructors 
in  Heme  Hygiene  and  Care  of  the  Sick,    for  Disaster  Relief,  and  for  other  Ser- 
vices  in  connection  with  nursing.      This  might  apply  to    the  recruiting  of  stvident 
nvirses.      The  Division  Office  maintains  an  enrollment  of  Home  Defense  Nurses  in- 
eligible for  national   service,  but  vvho  may  be  available  for  local  purposes, 
serving  as  instrxictors  in  Home  Hygiene  and  Care  of   the  Sick,    or  meeting  local 
emergencies.      (See  ARC  703) 

Post  \"ar  Services  (See  ARC  207)    is  responsible  for  carrying  to  a  final 
conclusion  the  work  described  under  Home  Service  so  far  as  it  relates   to  ei- 
service  men.      In  addition   to   the  information  and   relief  aspect   of  its  work,    it 
conducts  medical   social   service  for  the   ex-service  men  receiving  treatment  in 
Government  hospitals.      The  Red  Cross  maintains  workers  who  provide    recreation  and 
entertainment;    communicate  with  the  men's  families   through  the  Chapters;   and  dis- 
tribute supplies  for   the  men's  comfort.      In  State  hospitals  and  the  California 
branch  of  the  National  Home  for  Disabled  Soldiers   (q.v. )   and  in  Government  con- 
tract hospitals  used  for  the  care  of  ax-service  men,    such  service  is  rendered  by 
Chapter  and  Division  workers. 

Public  Health  N\irsing  Service  encourages  and  furthers   the  training  of 
Public  Health  Nurses   through  scholarship  and  loan  funds,   and  is  concerned  ^vi th

the  promotion  and  administration  of  Public  Health  Nursing  services   through  the 
instrumentality   of   the  Red  Cross  Chapters,   in  close  cooperation  with  State  boards 
of  health  and  other  agencies.      It   sets  and  maintains  standards  of  Public  Health 
Nursing  that  require  definite  postgraduate  training  or  preparation  in  addition   tc 
the   regular  hospital  course;   it  also   gives  continued   supervision  to  the  Public 
Health  Nurse  when  she  is  at  work  in   the  comnunity. 

Public  Information  Service  is  the  channel  for  distribution  of  informa- 
tion concerning  Red  Cross  activities  and  projects.  Among  the  activities  of  this 
Service  are  the  circulation  of  exhibits,  the  distribution  of  educational  moving- 
picture  films,  and   the  f\irnishing  of  spesikers  and  lectures  on  Red  Cross  subjects. 

VolTinteer  Service  recruits  volunteer  workers   to  assist   in  all  Red  Cross 
activities.      In  addition  to   the  administrative  work,  which  is  managed  in  most 
Chapters  by  volunteer  personnel,    volunteers  make  clothing  for  European  relief, 
reconstruct  garments  in  connection  with  Salvage  and  Shop  work,   visit  ex-service 
men   in  hospitals,   assist   the  Public  Health  Nurse  and   the  Home  Service  worker  in 
their  comn:ainity  service,   and  do  motor  corps,   canteen  and  other  relief  work  in 
times  of  disaster.      Motor  Corps  and  Camteen  Groups       are  active  also  in  numerous 
places  in  connection  with  the  work  of   the  Public  Health  Nurse,   Home  Service  Work- 
er and  Hospital  Social  Service  Worker. 

Salvage  and  Shop  work  is   conducted   through  the  Red  Cross  Shop  and   the 
Salvage  warehouse.      The  Red  Cross  Shop  is  founded  on   the  principle   that  in  every 
home   there  are  articles  of  little  or  no  value  to    the  o^wier,  but  which  might  be  of 
use    to   others  if  put  within   their   reach.      Chapters   reconstruct  and  place  on   sale 
clothing  so  obtained.      Furniture  is  also  remodelled  and  put  to  use.      The  object 
of   the  Salvage  and  Shop  work  is   social,   not  primarily   to  make  money  for  the  Chap- 
ters;   the  proceeds  go   to   the  support  of  amy  welfare  project   the  Chapters  may  be 
undertaking  in  Home  Service,  Public  Health  Nursing,   or  Health  Centers.      The  work 
of  reconstructing  the  material  and  operating  the  shops  is  carried  on  almost  en- 
tirely by  volunteers.

established  by  law,   consisting  of   three  members  appointed  by  the  Governor.      It 
has  general  control  of   the  payment  of  claims  against  State  funds  and  appropria- 
tions;   it  must  examine  and  pass  upon  all   claims  against   the  State  for  which  no 
appropriation  has  been  made  and  make  recommendations   to   the  Legislature  in  order 
that  money   for  the  payment  of  such  claims  may  be  appropriated.      It  must  approve 
all  contracts  for  the  purchase  of  supplies  by  State  officers,  boards,  bureaus,   or

STATE,    COUVTY,   AND  I/IUNICIPAL  SYST5M  OF  GOVEWl^EOT.      The  California 
Constitution  provides   for   tho  distribution  of   the  powers  of   goverrjrent  among   three 
separate  departments:      the  executive,   legislative,   and  judicial, 

Tho  Executive  Department.      The  State  Constitution  vests    the   supreme   exe- 
cutive power  of   the  State  in  a  Governor,   and  provides   for  a  Lieutenant  Governor, 
Secretary  of  State,  Controller,  Treasurer,  Attorney  General,   and  Surveyor  General. 
The   Governor  must  see   that   the   laws  are   faithfially  executed.      He  is   corrjrander-in- 
cjjief  of   the  militia.      He  has  veto  power.      The  Lieutenant   Governor  is  president 
of   the  Senate.      The  Secretary  of  State  has  custody  of  all  public  records  and 
documents.      The  Treasurer   receives  and  disburses  money  belonging  to  the  State. 
The  Controller  adjusts public  accounts.      The  Attorney  General  has   charge  of  all 
legal  matters  in  which  the  State   is   interested.      The  Siirveyor  General  surveys 
boundary  lines  of  political  divisions  of  the  State  and  has  charge  of  school  lands. 

The  Legislative  Djpartment.      The  legislative  power  of   the  State  is  vested 
in   the  State  L3gislatur3,  which  is  made  vgD  of  a  Senate  and  an  Assembly,  and  holds 
its   regular  sessions   in  odd-nimbered  years.      Senatorial  and  assembly  districts  are 
established  by  legislative  enactment.      The  State  is  divided  into  40  senatorial 
districts  and  80  assembly  districts.      One  senator  is  elected  from  each  senatorial 
district  for  a  term  of  four  vears;    one  assemblyman  is  elected  from  each  assembly 
district  for  a  term  of  two  years. 

The  Judiciary  Department.      The  State  Constitution  places   the  J\idicial 
power  of   the  State  in  a  Senata,    sitting  as  a  court  of  impeachment,   in  a  Supreme 
Court,  district  courts  of  appeal,   superior  courts,  and  such  inferior  courts  as    the 
Legislature  may  establish. 

Juvenile  Courts.      The  California  Juvenile  Court  Law  (approved  June  5, 
1915)   provides  for   the  establishment  and  maintenance  of  a  separate  court  in   each 
county  or  city  and.  county.      It  is  concerned  with  persons  -under  the  age  of  21  years, 
in  certain  cases  providing  for  their  care,   custody  and  maintenance,   in  other  cases 
providing  for   their  probationary   treatment,  and  if  probation  fails,   for   their 
commitment  to  Whittier  State  School   (q.v.),  Preston  School  of  Industry  (q.v.), 
California  School   for  Girls  (q.v.),   or  other  institutions.     Provides  for  probation 
officers  and  a  probation  committee    to  deal  with  such  persons.      Authorizes   the 
establishment  of  detention  homes,    fixes   the  method  of   treatment  or  cocmitment  of 
minors  who  have  committed  crimes.      It  also  provides   for  the  punishment  of  persons 
guilty   of  offenses  againse  minors,   and  defines    such  crimes.      Children  without 
parents  or  guardians  able  to  provide  for  them  may  be  brought  into   the  juvenile 
court     and  declared  wards   of  the  court,   and  the  county  may  be  ordered  to  pay  fcr 
their  support  and  maintenance  a  sim  not   to  exceed  $20  a  month,    the  child  to  be 
left  in  the  parent's  home,   or  boarded  in  an  institution  or  in  an  approved  private 
boarding  home  under   the  oversight  of  some  recognized  social  agency.      Ccnmitments 
are  made  for  a  period  of  six  months  and  are  subject  to  revi.^  by  the  court  before 
the  renewal  is  made.      In  counties   or  cities  and  counties  laving  but  one  judge 
of  the  superior  court,    th.at  officer  is  known  as   the  "juvenile  court  judge"  while 
administering  the  Juvenile  Court  Law.      Counties  or  cities  and  counties  having  more 
th^  one  judge  designate  one  such  person  as  "juvenile  coiirt  judge". 

Inferior  Courts  are  kr.»wn  either  as   townshdp  court's  or  as  municipal  or 
police  courts,  with  equal  powers  and  duties.      They  have  exclusive  jvirisdiction  in 
cases  of  law  in  which  the  money  involved  in  not  more  than  $500  and  exclusive 
criminal  jurisdiction  over  misdoneanors   that  are  punishable  by  fine  not  exceeding 

15126 


--   63  -- 

$500   or  inprisonment  not  excoeding  six  months.      In  cities  of   the  first  and  second 
class   exception  is  made   to   this   rule,  police  courts    there  having  jurisdiction  over 
all  misdemeanors,  whatever   the  punishment.      Justices   of  the  peace  in   township 
courts  and  police  judges  in  municipal  courts,    except  the  justices  in  San  Francis- 
co,  are  required  to  perform  the  duties  of  magistrates;    they  are  elected  at  the 
coujity  elections  for  a  terrr,  of  four  years. 

Township  Courts.      Each  county  is  divided  by  its  Board  of  Supervisors 
into  judicial   townships   each  of  which  has  one  justice  of  the  peace  who  presides 
over   the   township   court. 

Municipal  or  police  courts  are  presided  over  by  police  judges  and  are 
established  either  by  city  charter  or  by  law.      Any  city  charter  may  provide  for  a 
police  court.      Cities  whose  charters  make  no  such  provisions  have  city  justice 
courts  established  by  law. 

Superior  Courts.      A  si5)erior  court  is   established  in   each  county,   or 
city  and  county  in   the  State,  £uid  has  at  least  one  judge,   elected  for  six  years. 
It  has  both  original  and  appellate  jurisdiction.      All  equity  cases,  all  cases  at 
law   that  involve  more   than  $300   in  money  or  property,   all  probate  cases,  divorce 
cases,   and  various   other  civil   cases,   originate   in   the   superior  court.      It  acts  as 
an  agent  of  the  U.    S.    Government  in  naturalizing  aliens.     A  District  Court  of 
Appeal,   consisting  of   three  justiC3s,   is   established  in  each  of   the   three 
appellate  court  districts  into  which   the  State  is  divided.      One  of   these  courts  is 
located  in  San  Francisco,   one  in  Los  Angeles,   and  one  in  Sacramento.      The  justices 
of   these  courts  are  elected  for  a  term  of  12  years,   one  of  them  being  chosen  at 
each  general  election. 

The  Supreme  Court  consists   of  a  Chief  Justice  and  six  associate  justices, 
elected  for  a  term  of  12  yeairs.      It  has  appellate  jurisdiction  in  all  cases  and 
proceedings  pending  in  a  district   court  of  appeal. 

Administration  of  Stat3  Govera'iient.      Th3   government  of   the  State  is  ad- 
ministered largely  through  various  department,  boards,  and  concmissions ,    the 
functions   of  which  are  treated   elsewhere  in  the  Handbook.      (See  agencies  listed- 
under  State  Agencies  in  the  Subject  Index)     A  complete   list  of  boards,   deparlitentsr, 
and  commissions   is   to  be  found  in   the  California  Roster  of  State,  County,  and 
City  and  Township  Officials. 

County  Government.     The  county  is    the  Tinit  of  local  governpent,    the 
agency  of   the  State  created  for  the  purpose  of  putting  State  law  into  execution. 
The  chief  officers  and  governing  bodies  are   the  following:     Board  of  S'upervisors  , 
County  Clerk,   Treasurer,  Assessor,  Auditor,  Recorder,   Coroner,   Surv3yor,  Superin- 
tendent of  Schools,   Superior  Judges,  Justicas  of   the  Peace,   District  Attorney, 
Sheriff,   Public  Administrator,   and  County  Health  Officer.      Th3  Board  of  Si:5)ervisors 
exercises  limited  legislative  functions,    subject   to  initiative  and  referendum. 
There  are  58  counties  in  California.
